NFC East Roundup: Week 9

How is the NFC East shaping up after 9 weeks

Dallas quarterback Tony Romo threw for 337 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score to Dwayne Harris with 35 seconds left.

Dallas tight end Jason Witten avoided a four-game streak with fewer than five catches by notching eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. It would have been his first such streak since 2008.

In the last two weeks, the Giants held Minnesota and Philadelphia to 30 and 48 rushing yards, respectively. It’s the first time they held back-to-back opponents to less than 50 yards on the ground since Oct. 25 and Nov. 7, 2010, when Dallas ran for 41 yards and Seattle for 49 (with a bye in-between).

The victories over Minnesota and Philadelphia improved quarterback Eli Manning’s record as a starter in October to 29-7, an .806 winning percentage that is the NFL’s highest for quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era with at least 20 starts.
